Specifically, as shown in FIG. 3, the electronic device may include at least one processor, and may execute the following battery heating method:

S301: When the electronic device is connected to the charging device, at least one processor obtains temperature information.

The trigger conditions for acquiring the ambient temperature include but are not limited to: detecting that the electronic device is connected to the charging device, the battery voltage is lower than the threshold, the charging current of the battery is lower than the threshold, and/or the battery power is lower than the threshold, etc.

In the bright-screen charging state, the user will operate the electronic device, and the increase in the processor load will cause the motherboard to heat up, so that the battery is heated by the heat-conducting component, so the battery may not be heated at this time.

In the off-screen charging state, the user does not operate the electronic equipment, and the processor load is the lowest in order to achieve energy saving purposes, so the motherboard heating up is not obvious. If the ambient temperature is too low at this time, the battery cannot be charged or charged slowly, so the battery temperature rise is not obvious. Optionally, obtain temperature information when the electronic device is in the off-screen charging state.

Optionally, a first temperature sensor may be installed in the electronic device, and the first temperature sensor is used to detect temperature information of the electronic device.

S302: When the temperature information is lower than a preset threshold, at least one processor provides a first voltage signal to the wireless charging coil to increase the temperature of the wireless charging coil.

Specifically, when the temperature information of the charging device is lower than the first preset threshold, or the temperature information of the electronic device is lower than the second preset threshold, at least one processor provides the first voltage signal for the wireless charging coil. The temperature information of the charging device is equivalent to the external environment temperature information of the electronic device, that is, whether to heat the battery can be determined according to the external environment temperature information of the electronic device. The temperature information of the electronic device represents the internal environmental temperature information of the electronic device, that is, whether to heat the battery can be determined according to the internal environmental temperature information of the electronic device.

The at least one processor can provide the first voltage signal to the wireless charging coil through the charging device, that is, the control voltage conversion module converts the charging voltage of the charging device into the first voltage signal heated by the wireless charging coil, so that the wireless charging coil heats up through the heat conducting component Heat the battery. At this time, the wireless charging coil is equivalent to a resistor.

The first voltage signal may be alternating current or direct current. For example, when the battery is charged by a wireless charging device, the wireless charging coil can induce alternating current.

The level of the first voltage signal may be less than the preset level, the power of the first voltage signal may be less than the preset power, and the current of the first voltage signal may be less than the preset current. The preset level can refer to the rated level when the battery is charged through the wireless charging coil at room temperature, the preset power can refer to the rated power when the battery is charged through the wireless charging coil at room temperature, and the preset current can refer to the wireless charging at room temperature. The rated current when the coil charges the battery. The reason is that when the battery temperature is low, the charging current is small or there is no charging current. If the preset level, preset current or preset power is used to charge the battery through the wireless charging coil, the extra energy generated cannot be converted into the battery The energy storage will burn the wireless charging coil.

Exemplarily, the first preset threshold or the second preset threshold may be 10°C.

In addition, when the temperature information is lower than the preset threshold, the at least one processor may also control the electronic device to run a preset application. When the preset application is run, the temperature of the at least one processor increases.

The preset application program may refer to: at least one application program pre-installed in the electronic device, and each application program occupies different processor resources so that the processor heats up differently; or, the preset application program may be determined based on the power consumption history of the installed software The program, for example, determines the preset application from the installed software according to the order of the average power consumption in the power consumption history from high to low. These preset applications may have no display interface or audio and video output, so that the user is not aware.

Ways to run preset applications include but are not limited to: turn on the "Allow software to run in the background" switch, so that the preset applications can run in the background; determine the running sequence of the preset applications according to different temperature information, such as temperature information When the value of is low, the preset application with a large amount of heat is run, and when the value of temperature information is higher, the preset application with a small amount of heat is run.

The thermally conductive component is used for heat transfer between the wireless charging coil and the battery, so as to transfer the heat of the wireless charging coil to the battery.

Optionally, the heat-conducting component may be attached to the area where the battery and the at least one processor are located. When the temperature of the at least one processor increases by running a preset application program, the heat conducting component is also used to transfer the heat of the at least one processor to the battery.

Since at least one processor is located on the motherboard, the temperature rise of the processor will also increase the temperature of the motherboard, because the thermally conductive components can also be attached to the motherboard (for example, the motherboard and the battery are fixed on the front shell assembly, or the graphite sheet The bonding range extends from the battery to the motherboard), and the thermally conductive component can be bonded to the area where the battery and at least one processor are located. Therefore, the battery can be heated by heat conduction from the main board, the thermally conductive components to the battery.

It should be noted that the above two heating methods can be used at the same time to increase the heating speed.
